surasshu and I collaborated with the Google Doodles team to create music and sound design for the 2016 Rio Olympics Doodle. Thank you to our musicians, Stemage (guitar), Kristin Naigus (piccolo), and Lachlan Day (trumpet) for their wonderful performances! Video credits: design and animation by Nate Swinehart, with layout support by David Davis. More about the Fruit Games here.
It was a blast to do this! I hope I did my Brazilian heritage justice. We’ve been trying to expand our palette with more real instruments and this is one of the pieces where it made a big difference to work with such great performers.
The games are fun too, and we did that music and sound design too–so check ‘em out on your phone!
This is the second Google Doodle I know they’ve worked on and it’s great once again :D
